More quotes by Ann Voskamp
I didn't (and still don't) have comments [in my blog]. It's about simply writing for an audience of One.
Ann Voskamp
Sometimes you don’t know when you’re taking the first step through a door until you’re already inside.
Ann Voskamp
Simplicity is never a matter of circumstances simplicity is a matter of focus. So in the midst of educating and parenting our children, we can't necessarily go ahead and make everything fit into neat, controllable, simple schedules. But the point is, simplicity is: how do we keep our eyes fixed and focused on Christ, no matter where we are?
Ann Voskamp
Gratitude is not only a response to God in good times - it's ultimately the very will of God in hard times. Gratitude isn't only a celebration when good things happen. It's a declaration that God is good no matter what happens.
Ann Voskamp
Every mountain that every Christian ever faces, the Lord levels with sufficient grace.
Ann Voskamp
Worry is the facade of taking action when prayer really is.
Ann Voskamp
What was intended to harm, God intended it all for good. And no matter what intends to harm you, God's arms have you. You can never be undone.
Ann Voskamp
...the secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is.
Ann Voskamp
This day is not a sieve, losing time. With each passing minute, each passing year, there's this deepening awareness that I am filling, gaining time. We stand on the brink of eternity.
Ann Voskamp
What is time for if not to bless?
Ann Voskamp
Once you have tasted conviction, you can’t bear to keep swallowing complacency.
Ann Voskamp
I am a hunter of beauty and I move slow and I keep the eyes wide, every fiber of every muscle sensing all wonder and this is the thrill of the hunt and I could be an expert on the life full, the beauty meat that lurks in every moment. I hunger to taste life. God.
Ann Voskamp
Lament is a cry of belief in a good God, a God who has His ear to our hearts, a God who transfigures the ugly into beauty. Complaint is the bitter howl of unbelief in any benevolent God in this moment, a distrust in the love-beat of the Father's heart.
Ann Voskamp
But wells don't come without first begging to see the wells wells don't come without first splitting open hard earth, cracking back the lids. There's no seeing God face-to-face without first the ripping.
Ann Voskamp
Are stress and worry evidence of a soul too lazy, too undisciplined, to keep gaze fixed on God?
Ann Voskamp
Worry is belief gone wrong. Because you don't believe that God will get it right. But peace - peace is belief that exhales. Because you believe that God's provision is everywhere - like air.
Ann Voskamp
It's the greatest compliment when the writer becomes invisible in the whole process.
Ann Voskamp
We give thanks to God not because of how we feel, but because of Who He is.
Ann Voskamp
Instead of giving someone a piece of your mind, it turns out far better if you give them a piece of your heart.
Ann Voskamp
Faith thanks God in the middle of the story.
